BOROUGH AND LONG ISLAND QUEENS VIGILANTES IN SECRET SESSION Committee That Saw Governor Hughes Makes Its Report. GOVERNOR WAS VERY KIND. He Told the Committeemen What to Do to Purify Queens, and They'll Do It. Another secret meeting of the Queens Vigilance Committee was held last night somewhere in Richmond Hill. The committee which met Governor Hughes a short time ago made its report to the body and stated that the Governor, after giving them more than an hour of his time, had advised them how to act in the matter, and the committee has decided to follow his advice.

Just what he told the men to do was not made public. In regard to the appointment of a special attorney general in Queens, Governor Hughes is said to have made it plain to the committee that that was a very delicate matter, but he was awaiting certain developments before taking such a stand, and was even then planning to confer with certain city authorities upon that subject. The committee on plan and scope reported and placed before the meeting a set of resolutions explaining the stand of the vigilance committee and its purpose. In this document the present condition of affairs in Queens was referred to as open to just criticism adjacent counties and was disgraceful. Mayor Gaynor himfrom, self, it stated, had given the citizens of Queens a practical demonstration of his willingness "to aid this borough in extirpating the vicious conditions and ereating an honest business administration.

The purposes of the committee were divided under four heads: First-To secure Queens an administration that the the citizens and advocate will conserve, the interests and command an investigation of all the departments of the borough. Second--To bring about such changes as may be necessary and to assist in the punishment of those responsible for wrong-doing in the administration of the government or in the misapplication or stealing of moneys. Third-To trace money which has in this 'manner disappeared and to recover such funds if possible. Fourth--The members pledge themselves to investigate contracts heretofore given out, to ascertain any person or corporation has been deterred from bidding for public work or supplies by indirect measures. ESTATE HAS ORDER TO SELL Corbin Executors Authorized to Dispose of Sunnyside Tract.

Arkansas Land Was Long a Burden to the Estate--Is Now Sold for $200,000. (Special to The Eagle.) Riverhead, L. August 9-As was forecasted in The Eagle two weeks ago, Surrogate Nicoll yesterday afternoon signed an order permitting the executors of the Austin Corbin estate to sell their holdings in the Sunnyside lands in Arkansas for $200,000. When the matter came up yesterday no one opposed the plan. The tract has been a white elephant on the hands of the executors for some years, and they are glad get rid of the trouble of carrying it, as well 86 of its expense.

Just what disposition the purchaser will make of the property is not known, nor in fact who the purchaser really is, for these matters did not come up in the proceedings here. It is understood now from the text of the order that the estate really gets but a few thousand dollars in actual money out of the transaction, but it is relieved of certain debts. The estate was some time ago given certain bonds from the Sunnyside Company, a Connecticut corporation, and these were distributed among the various beneficiaries of Austin Corbin's will, so in a measure the estate had its money from this sale well in advance of its actual occurrence. In other words, the estate virtually sold the tract some time ago and now gets judicial sanction. The motion to sell was made by George Whitefield Betts, who appeared for George S.

Edgell and Austin Corbin, surviving executors of the estate. The executors are authorized in the order signed by Judge Nicoll to compromise all claims of the estate against the Sunnyside Company by transferring to George S. Edgell, Leavitt J. Hunt and Richard S. Dow, a8 the bondholders committee of the Sunnyside Company, any and all claims, accounts and notes which the estate of Austin Corbin holds against the said Sunnyside Company, together with any accrued interest thereon, and also the 2,975 shares of stock of the company owned by the executors, upon receipt from the Sunnyside Company of an assignment of all moneys due or which may become due from George C.

Austin, as. assignee of the Corbin Banking Company. WILL "TRY IT ON THE DOG." Sag Harbor to See the First Production of Robert Edeson's New Play. (Special to The Eagle.) Sag Harbor, L.

SENSATIONAL SUIT PENDING. Executors of David Hiscox Accused of Disregarding Terms of Agreement With Rawolle Estate. Justice Putnam of the Supreme Court, sitting in Brooklyn to-day, appointed Le Roy M. Young of Babylon receiver of the Hiscox Chemical Works in Patchogue, a corporation for the manufacture of patent medicines.

The receiver will give a bond of $20,000. The appointment of Lawyer Young as receiver is the outgrowth of a suit recently brought out Isaacetta Rawelle and Charles J. Buchanan as executors of the estate of Frederick Rawelle, against Everett S. Hiscox, Jesse F. Hiscox, Harriet M.

Hughes, Mary M. Gugel and Daisey E. Hiscox and others, principally as executors of the David Hiscox estate. Frederick Rawelle was a partner of David Hiscox, the founder of the ical company. The partnership was dissolved in May, 1900, Rawelle selling out to Hiscox for $180,000, to be paid in 240 monthly installments of $750 each, the first of a series notes given to become payable on May 15, 1910.

The agreement was that David Hiscox should eventually transfer the business to his or sons, the sons to take a nominal salary each for conducting the business and discharge all notes and liabilities. Until all the notes were paid, according to the agreement, Frederick Rawolle was to have free access to the books of the Hiscox Chemical Company, and if the business was not paying enough to clear up the notes Rawolle was to have power to take hold of the business and manage it until he got payment for his notes; then turn it back into the hands of the Hiscoxes. Mr. Rawolle died May 18, 1903. Hiscox died January 25, 1906.

His wife, Mary, died May 2, 1908. The papers in the suit state that through an agreement by the parties, the plaintiffs surrendered sixty-six of that the the notes. The claim is now made notes were surrendered without deception, fraud, miseration, representation and duress" on the part of the defendants. It is also charged that the representations regarding the business were false. The profits exceeded $30,000 annually, say the papers, and sometimes were as high $50,000.

The business is now in the as of Everett S. and Jesse F. sole control Hiscox. It is charged that on "April 30, 1906, the Widow Hiscox and her sons and daughter divided up a lot of stocks and bonds and over $10,000 in money, all belonging to the estate of David Hiscox, and a number of tracts of land, mostly in Brookhaven conveyed to the widow. It town, were is said the realty alone thus conveyed exceeded the value of $50,000.

It is charged that such transfers were made contrary to the provisions of Mr. Hiscox's will and the agreement. The will provided only a nominal sum as salary for the sonS as managers of the business until after the obligations outstanding were met, but it is charged in this suit that they have taken from $30,000 to $50,000 annually as profits from the business. It is stated they have likewise failed to follow the terms of the agreement and provisions of the will in providing a trust fund to pay the notes and other indebtedness. Some time ago, when Judge Belford was surrogate of this county, he commanded the Hiscox brothers to account and show the condition of the business.

They set up then that they were entitled to a larger salary from the business than allowed by their father's will. An appeal was taken, and the Appellate Division sustained Judge Belford. An appeal to the Court of Appeals has since been taken, and the action is still pending. This is referred to in the papers. Pine Manhattan, are counsel for Black, Variation Bigelow Somers of 4 the plaintiffs; Robert S.

Pelletreau of Patchogue appears for the defendants. CHURCH NEARS COMPLETION. Handsome Edifice of St. Bartholomew's Perish, in Elmhurst, Soon to Be Dedicated. The new St.

WRECK TRAIN CAUGHT ON FLY. Halted at Freeport on Way to Southampton-Two Wrecks Cleared Away. (Special to The Eagle.) Freeport, L. August 9-Owing to the undue haste of Head Brakeman J. J.

Budd in closing a throw-off block before the rear truck of the last car on baggage train No. 48, which arrived here at 12:29 P.M. yesterday, had passed over it, the car was thrown off the rail and ran along the ground for fifty feet before the train was stopped, opposite the local freight office. In its journey the derailed car struck the rear end of a box car standing on siding, and the collision caused a loud crash, although the cars are only slightly damaged. A peculiar coincidence in connection with the affair that the baggage train had pulled on the siding to allow a wrecking train to pass on its way to Southampton, where a freight had run off a switch.

The wrecking crew got busy at once on the unexpected job. The large crane was fastened to the demolished truck and it was raised and placed on one of the wrecking cars. The damaged truck was replaced and the car run off on a siding. A large number of spectators gathered around the scene of the accident, and were amazed at the quick time which the wrecking crew made in clearing away the debris and replacing the damaged parts with new ones before the wrecking train continued on its way to Southampton.
